On the Effect of Correlated Sways on Generalized Misalignment Fading for Terrestrial FSO Links by Ruben Boluda-Ruiz, Antonio Garcia-Zambrana, Beatriz Castillo-Vazquez, Carmen Castillo-Vazquez

“…Terrestrial free-space optical (FSO) links are severely damaged by both atmospheric turbulence and misalignment errors. Generally, the optic community models misalignment by considering two different axes, i.e., the horizontal displacement and the elevation, as independent Gaussian random variables (RVs), whose probability density function is the well-known Beckmann distribution in the general case. …”

Grid cells, place cells, and geodesic generalization for spatial reinforcement learning. by Nicholas J Gustafson, Nathaniel D Daw

“…We formalize this intuition and present simulations showing how Euclidean, but not geodesic, representations can interfere with RL by generalizing inappropriately across barriers. Our proposal that place and grid responses should be modulated by geodesic distances suggests novel predictions about how obstacles should affect spatial firing fields, which provides a new viewpoint on data concerning both spatial codes.…”

Developments in the Division of Civil Liability in the French Civil Code  in the light of Decree No. 131 of 2016  - a comparaative study – by Zina Monhim Madhar, Hewa Ibrahim Qadir

“…The study concluded that the common division of civil liability into contractual and tort sources stems from jurisprudence and does not exist in French civil law, And that the term liability did not exist in the French civil code at the time of its issuance in 1804, It was first introduced under the Defective Products Liability Act of 1998, And that Decree No. (131) of 2016 has made the articles related to tort liability under the title of non-contractual liability Which, in turn, is considered the starting point for reforming the theory of civil liability, for which jurisprudence has prepared several projects, and from which the civil liability reform project has been derived (Civil Liability Reform Project March 2017) Who adopted several divisions of civil liability, including contractual and non-contractual liability, and special systems for liability, We also recommended the Iraqi legislator to adopt the same steps followed by the French legislator by introducing general provisions for contractual and non-contractual liability in the Iraqi civil law by making the necessary amendments with the aim of developing the civil law. …”
